Episode 50 - Knowing vs. knowing about - Discussion

Jayson, Tommy, Caleb and Bryan tackle the reality of our information world.  They take a hard look at how our identity has been more attached to what we know about with little emphasis on knowing the source of the information.
They also take on the criticalness of these two components, yet without relationally knowing a person, idea or application the knowledge of it becomes fruitless.  They also expose how the relationship with God has been more based on what we know about Him.  This has led to a relational disconnect to the one who wanted to know us and be known.

Episode 49 - Jesus - The master over distractions - Discussion

In this episode, Jayson and Tommy discuss life around us with all its distractions.  They take a view into Jesus life and how He brilliantly cut through the noise to get to the heart of the matter.  In the discussion, they explore how to live life on purpose, but not entangled in the affairs of this life.   Not ignoring the big issues, rather, how to stay focused while being responsible with the decisions we face.

Episode 48 - Unity and conformity: Live not by lies, but by your true source

In this episode, Jayson, Caleb, Tommy and Bryan continue down the rabbit hole of the battle between Unity and Conformity.  We have been interacting with ideas from the book, "Live Not By Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents," by Rod Dreher.  
We also bring in the end the difference between the eternal individual and the ever changing group.  How do you stand for truth?  When is it appropriate? What is truth?  These are some of the questions addressed.  Most importantly making a stand with the motive of being a solution with the best interest of people, rather than being against something with no real plan beyond.

Episode 45 - Motives, Gamestop, justice and finding truth - Discussion

In this episode: Jayson, Bryan, Caleb and Tommy tackle a recent letter sent by a recent investor in Gamestop who risked his finances out of defending his dad.  We take on this discussion based on the previous episode of Finding Truth.  We examine our world today in the difference of seeking vengeance and standing for justice based in truth. We also address the question, "How does God feel about these matters and are they relevant to ones spiritual life?"
We also explore how our world has eliminated a face to face discussion that allows for debate while maintaining a relationship with the one you are debating.
This and more in this episode.

Episode 44 - What is truth? - Discussion

In this episode, we take on this question and address the cultural issue of the relativity of truth.  We begin with the Rudyard Kipling poem - IF.  Using this as a backdrop of what happens to an individual who is established in truth and how does that affect the world around you. We see this in Jesus interaction with pilot who originally posed this question, What is truth?  Then proceeded to wash his hands of the responsibility of it.We also discuss: personal truth, group truth and the Truth.  This will begin a series around this idea as how can you discover you true identity without a foundation of truth in which it is built.Please comment or ask questions:outboundlife.orgtelegram.com/outboundlifetelegram.com/mission300

Episode 43 - In search of hope and finding courage

In this episode, we continue around the idea of finding courage with the emphasis around a need for hope.  Not just a natural hope of situations changing, but an internal hope that takes you beyond the circumstances into a new reality.  We utilize the most profound speech in Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers, to highlight this idea. Tommy and Caleb bring out most of the discussion from a young college students perspective.  We also bring back the conversation to the principles of Identity and Strength that build an inner fortitude regardless of what is placed against you.

We kick off 2021 with Tommy joining us as a new addition to the team.  We are now able to bring almost three generations of perspective to the topic at hand.Jayson, Tommy and Bryan relive the Christmas of 1944 in Bastogne, Belgium.  On that day, surrounded by the German army five times the strength, the US General McAuliffe refused an offer of surrender with the response, "Nuts!"  We bring this into our current lives and what would happen to our life if we let courage emerge.We go from there to explore:  What is courage and its affects?How do we lose it?How do we build it back?Join us in the discussion!
